We Create Stuff community survey

15 posts in this topic

The community in We Create Stuff is growing fast, and it's wonderful. We at We Create Stuff wish keep the quality of the things around here as high as possible, and it could be very helpful if you answer the following survey.

1. Does We Create Stuff come up fast enough? (Note> we made some server changes 2 days ago, perhaps earlier problems were solved)

2. Would you like to see a quick post option or any other addon around the forums?

Nah, SMF is better than phpBB in my opinion, but with alot of modifications available, phpBB is good

5. Do you think the News/Announcements forum is enough for overall We Create Stuff news?

Yes?

6. Do you think the front page of We Create Stuff website details

enough about the projects?

I think the homepage is excellent, it isn't packed with stuff to read and its nice to look at. However, i think it'd be great to have a rollover box that pops up and follows the mouse, with a small amount of information about it. I can provide an example if need be

7. Do you think more moderators are required?

Right now, No. Soon, yes. The forum seems to be fine right now, but around the time it hits 200 members, i think it'll need Mods

8. Does the ads above this post right now interrupt your experience in any way?

Hell no, they're Perfectly placed. I think they're in the best place possible.

Unrelated :: I got my adsense cheque on saturday, $110

9. If you could change only one thing in We Create Stuff, what would it be?

5. Do you think the News/Announcements forum is enough for overall We Create Stuff news?

Hmm, there's not much in there and not much detail, so I guess it covers it fine, but I'd personally like to see a blog or something, to keep us up to date in the WCS secret cave.

6. Do you think the front page of We Create Stuff website details

enough about the projects?

It gives no detail about the projects, simply a title and screenshot. However, I like the front page, everything is just there. Tbh, I rarely see the front page because I've got the forums bookmarked, along with portal.

7. Do you think more moderators are required?

I'll edit this post to answer this when a rules thread is up.

8. Does the ads above this post right now interrupt your experience in any way?

I seriously didn't notice them.

9. If you could change only one thing in We Create Stuff, what would it be?

I'd remove this question from your post because I can't think of an answer

1. When there are no big images being loaded off places like photobucket or image shack; then yea. (one of the reasons I'v been against images in sig space - not everyone has the luxury of a high speed internet connection, so that kind of stuff can really extend load times in that case)

2. I don't think any more options need to be added.

3. No.

4. VBulletin (maybe), but only if the community becomes huge; Otherwise the current setup will probably do just fine.

Posting images here and there is ok, because it's not something that people do *all* the time, and when they do, it's usually something different/interesting/useful - so it's worth waiting/scrolling for.

The (even now) over-sized images in your signature are added *every* time you post, and are always the same/same loop.

My personal opinion (which is what I think this thread asks for) is that images in signature space should be disallowed all together. Is that right or not for this forum? -> That's for the administrators to decide.

However, regardless of the final decision, you should still (in the interests of friendship and community) at least use a smaller image, because it's really far too large, and I'm not the only one who thinks so.

Of course, it's just a suggestion.

PS: For boards that decide to allow images in signature space, the "rule of thumb" is usually 3-4 text lines high. And that's for more than just bandwidth issues, it's also for consistency.
